Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 134 Su Yi was promoted! The situation was broken! A river of blood flowed!

After hearing Su Yi's words, the emperor was stunned and all the ministers were stunned.

What do you mean?

Su Yi said: "Your Majesty, the Hunan Army is not willing to put down the rebellion in Jiangxi, so please go!"

"I will lead the new army to Jiangxi to eliminate the rebellion and regain the lost territory."

Suddenly, everyone looked towards Su Yi.

Now is not the time for angry words.

Your new army only has 3,000 people in total, Jiangxi's rebellion has tens of thousands of troops, and Shi Dakai's main force is in Jiangxi.

You won a great victory in Yangzhou and captured the city of Yangzhou with 1,500 men.

But at that time, there were only more than 2,000 Yangzhou defenders.

Qin Suyi has always been fighting clever battles, but now Lin Qirong's troops in Jiujiang are rebelling, and there are nearly 20,000 people.

Nanchang Shida opened his headquarters and had more defenders.

In Guangxin Prefecture alone, the rebel defenders may have tens of thousands.

And the opponent also has muskets and artillery.

This is no joke.

The emperor also woke up instantly and said: "Su Yi, I am very happy that you have this idea, but this is a military and national matter and cannot be allowed to be acted upon."

Su Yi said: "Your Majesty, I am not motivated."

"The Hunan Army has tens of thousands of troops and is equipped with foreign guns and artillery. It is powerful. Therefore, letting the Hunan Army go to Jiangxi to quell the rebellion is of course the best result. For this reason, I am willing to be wronged and willing to admit my mistake to Zeng Guofan. But now The Hunan Army is bullying the emperor, and they are bullying us because we have no troops that can fight, and they are taking advantage of us. "

"Zeng Guofan gave up his choice, and Hu Linyi was also deceiving the emperor and giving him a soft nail."

"What should we do now? It is useless for me to admit my mistake to Zeng Guofan and submit to me. Should I let the emperor go to him and ask for help?"

Su Yi's heart-wrenching words made the emperor's face suddenly jump.

Thinking of all the cowardly things done to the Hunan Army over the years.

Zeng Guofan had a bad temper. As an emperor, he often had to coax him. Whoever the Hunan Army wanted to impeach would most likely step down.

They have defeated many high-ranking officials in the border areas in recent years.

That is to say, the new Huguang Governor's official document is stable. It is also because the official document does not care about anything and delegates all power to Zeng Guofan and Hu Linyi. Anyway, every credit goes to his official document.

What is the ultimate reason?

The Hunan Army is a warlord and has its own system.

The army was recruited by the people themselves, the wages were raised by the people themselves, and the grain, grass, foreign guns, and cannons were all bought by the people themselves.

So of course your emperor cannot insert a needle or splash water.

Su Yi said: "Now there are no troops available. No one is willing to recover Jiangxi, and no one dares to recover Jiangxi, so I'll go!"

The emperor was very excited.

At the critical moment, it was still Su Yi.

He stepped up every time.

It's a pity that there is only one person like this. It would be great if there were two, three, or five.

The emperor said: "Su Yi, I am inexplicably touched by your loyalty. But the number of your new troops is too small. This time is different from the Jiangbei Camp. It was just Yangzhou Prefecture, but this time it is the entire Jiangxi Province. It is many times larger. There were not that many rebel troops in the Jiangbei camp that day. Moreover, there are still 20,000 main troops in Tomin'a, so you are not fighting alone. "

"And now most of Jiangxi has fallen, and everything is in enemy territory. It's too dangerous for you to go deep alone."

Su Yi said: "Your Majesty, Jiangxi has just fallen, and there must still be many fleeing Qing troops. I am fighting while gathering the defeated troops."

The emperor still felt something was wrong.

Su Yi's three thousand new troops are too precious, and the battle situation in Jiangxi is too dangerous, so they must not be lost there.

Discussions went on and on, but no conclusion was reached.

But the emperor once again summoned Su Yi privately.

……………………………………………………

Inside Sanxi Hall.

Su Yi and the emperor had a secret conversation.

The emperor said: "Su Yi, what exactly do you think? It is completely impossible for three thousand new troops to regain Jiangxi."

Su Yi said: "Your Majesty, why are Zeng Guofan and Hu Linyi so confident? It's because they are the only army in the south that can fight. They feel that they are the only ones who can quell the rebellion in Jiangxi. They are already de facto warlords."

The emperor's face looked ugly, but he had to admit that what Su Yi said was true.

Su Yi said: "Since the Hunan Army is too soft, let's use hard force and use a method to provoke the generals."

"When I go, I will be like a catfish and activate the situation over there. If you put a piece of cake there, people will not be in a hurry to eat it, but if someone grabs it, then the person will be anxious and will quickly pick it up and eat it. ”

As soon as Su Yi said these words, the emperor's eyes lit up. This was really the truth.

Su Yi said: "This time I go to Jiangxi with a big fanfare, and the official position the emperor gives me should be higher, so that people in the world will feel that the emperor is extremely angry, and you have to risk everything, that is, let me go to Jiangxi. The rebellion was suppressed.”

"You give me all the nominal military command rights in Jiangxi and give me a lot of momentum."

"Then after I went to Jiangxi, I selected one or two easy-to-defeat state capitals to attack. Once they were attacked, I used the name given by the emperor to recruit troops aggressively and made a posture of sweeping Jiangxi."

"By then, the Hunan Army will be anxious. They are determined to win Jiangxi and will definitely send troops immediately."

The emperor nodded and said: "That makes sense! But in that case, Jiujiang and Nanchang will still have to be defeated by the Hunan Army, and I will have to canonize them by then."

Su Ye said: "Your Majesty, my goal is to recover Jiangxi and suppress the rebellion. I don't care about the rest."

Haha!

In fact, Su Ye wanted the whole Jiangxi.

Not only Jiujiang, but also Nanchang.

This time, he wanted to play a big game.

The emperor said: "Okay, then I understand what you mean!"

…………………………………………………………

The next day in the court.

The emperor's attitude suddenly became extremely firm.

"Draft an edict to confer Su Ye the title of Zhanshi of Zhanshi Mansion, and concurrently the assistant minister of the new army, and the general of Ganzhen. He has the right to dispatch the green camp in Jiangxi Province and take charge of the recovery of Jiangxi!"

This edict shocked the whole court.

Su Ye, what kind of magic potion did you give the emperor?

Yesterday the emperor was still hesitant, but now he is so motivated?

Could it be that your majesty really expects Su Ye's 3,000 new troops to recover Jiangxi?

This... is a complete daydream.

The whole of Jiangxi is enemy territory, there are no organized friendly troops, and the rebels have tens of thousands of troops there, far more than the battlefield of Jiangbei Camp.

Su Ye's three thousand new troops are alone in the deep, that is completely seeking death.

Your Majesty, you must not get too excited.

Besides, half of Su Ye's three thousand new troops have only been trained for about half a year.

Su Ye, is this how you trick the emperor into giving you a promotion?

Zhan Shi Fu Zhan Shi, Gan Zhen Zong Bing.

These two positions of such weight, just got it like this?

But then, no matter how the ministers objected, the emperor turned a deaf ear.

It was as if he was determined to rely on Su Ye's three thousand new troops to recover Jiangxi.

Finally, the emperor said to Su Ye: "Su Ye, you said you wanted to be the governor of Jiangxi. You think it's a joke, and many people think it's a joke. But... the emperor never jokes. As long as you can take Jiujiang and Nanchang, I will make you the governor of Jiangxi."

"No matter who it is, as long as he takes Jiujiang and Nanchang, I will make him the governor of Jiangxi."

Are you crazy?

Jiujiang and Nanchang, together, have at least 50,000 or 60,000 rebel troops. Su Ye's 3,000 new troops want to recapture these two important towns?

Your Majesty, what kind of magic potion have you been fed?

Chief Military Minister Wen Qing is about to come out to advise again.

But Su Shun shook his head.

The emperor said loudly: "It's settled. Su Ye, as the imperial envoy, will lead the new army to Jiangxi and recapture the lost territory today!"

Su Ye said: "I accept the order and thank you."

……………………………………………………

Su Shun's residence.

Wen Qing said: "What kind of magic potion did Su Ye give to the emperor? Is he playing with military and national affairs? He actually let Su Ye's 3,000 new troops go to recapture Jiangxi. Isn't this courting death?"

"And Su Ye, in order to keep his official position and not to give in to Zeng Guofan, he dared to make such a big promise to the emperor."

Because Zeng Guofan forced the emperor to choose between the two.

So in the eyes of many people, if he wants Zeng Guofan to come out this time, Su Ye will not only have to admit his mistakes and give in to Zeng Guofan, but also lose his official position.

So in Wen Qing's view, Su Ye's move was entirely for the purpose of not wanting to lose his official position.

"Although we dislike the new army, it was trained with millions of treasury from both countries. Moreover, if Su Ye is defeated, it is the emperor's will. What a blow to the emperor's reputation it will bring?" Wen Qing said: "No, we must ask the emperor to withdraw his order, or let the Hunan Army go to quell the rebellion." Su Shun said: "You, you, what are you in a hurry for?" "Yesterday, when Su Ye proposed to lead the army to quell the rebellion, the emperor still refused. Today, his attitude is so firm and his fighting spirit is so high. Aren't you surprised by what Su Ye said to the emperor yesterday?" "And the emperor said something today, and you didn't pay attention at all. He said who recovered Jiujiang and Nanchang, who will be the governor of Jiangxi. "Su Shun said: "Isn't this meaning obvious? This is a provocation."

"The emperor and Su Ye are bluffing. They appointed him as the Zhanshi of the Zhanshi Mansion and the general of Ganzhen, and gave him the military power of Jiangxi, as if they really wanted to give the great cause of suppressing the rebellion to Su Ye. In fact, this is to stimulate the Hunan Army and force them to send troops to suppress the rebellion."

"In the eyes of the Hunan Army, Jiangxi is like a big cake. Only they can eat it. They want to take the opportunity to get more benefits and threaten the court. Now Su Ye is rushing to eat it, maybe they are also eager to eat it. "

Everyone suddenly realized.

This is what happened.

Su Shun said: "So, this Su Er is really smart."

Du Han said: "Will the Hunan Army be fooled? Should we tell Zeng Guofan and others?"

Su Shun said: "Why bother? We supported the Hunan Army, but they are not our sons."

"It depends on Zeng Guofan's own understanding!"

Du Han said: "If Zeng Guofan and Hu Linyi see through Su Ye and the emperor's tricks, then..."

That would be fun.

The original provocation would become a one-man show.

The emperor and Su Ye were left on the stage.

They did not remind Zeng Guofan, but believed that the other party had such understanding and could see through it.

…………………………………………………………

The emperor sang the whole show.

Three days later!

A grand oath-taking ceremony was held.

Prince Dun, as the emperor's representative, personally came to send Su Ye's new army to the battle.

And he appointed Su Ye as the imperial envoy, presented him with the imperial sword and the royal flag.

He also invited many court nobles to come to the ceremony and see him off.

Then, Su Ye led 1,500 new troops to march south.

These 1,500 new troops were the second batch, and they had been trained for more than half a year.

The first batch of 1,500 new troops were still in Yangzhou at this time.

Su Ye needed to lead his troops to Tongzhou first, and then take a large canal ship to the south along the canal, first to Yangzhou, to meet up with other new troops, and then take a ship to the battlefield in Jiangxi.

Many people in the capital came to see him off.

This time it was spontaneous.

The last time Su Ye negotiated successfully with the British, it shocked the people too much.

And this time Su Ye led the new troops to go to war, and their emotions were very complicated.

Su Ye was really a loyal minister.

No matter where there was trouble, Su Ye could always stand up.

However, most of Jiangxi fell, and the rebel army was pressed.

Su Ye's new army only has 3,000 soldiers. With such a small army, they are going to suppress the rebellion?

Isn't it dangerous?

…………………………………………………………

Su Ye's new army went south along the canal.

And the relevant news also went south quickly and entered Wuchang City.

At this time, Zeng Guofan had returned to his hometown to mourn.

The people who received the letter were Hu Linyi and Shen Baozhen.

After reading it, Hu Linyi immediately ordered someone to send the letter to Zeng Guofan.

"Trivial tricks!" Shen Baozhen sneered.

Hu Linyi said: "It is indeed a petty trick, a poor way to provoke."

Shen Baozhen said: "The emperor appointed Su Ye as the Chancellor of the Chancellery and the General of Ganzhen, as if he really wanted to give him the power to quell the rebellion. He wanted us to be anxious and send troops quickly, fearing that Su Ye would really take the credit."

"Let him go, let him fight, let him fight to his heart's content!"

"Since they want to provoke, let him play a one-man show."

"Since the emperor wants to give the important task of quelling the rebellion in Jiangxi to Su Ye, then let him do it all, and we can leave."

"The rebels who have entered Hubei are rampant, and we don't have enough troops, so we need to dispatch the army that surrounds Jiujiang to the north." Shen Baozhen said: "Let the entire battlefield in Jiangxi be handed over to Su Ye."

When these words came out, Hu Linyi was stunned.

This...isn't this too much?

This will completely stimulate the emperor.

The Hunan Army that surrounded Jiujiang was the largest army of the Qing court in Jiangxi.

If they withdraw, the whole of Jiangxi will be full of rebel troops.

Then Su Ye will be alone and deep in the enemy's territory, and it is very likely that the whole army will be destroyed.

Hu Linyi dare not make the decision and cannot make this decision.

So, the two of them hurriedly sent a letter to Zeng Guofan's hometown, asking him to make the decision.

……………………………………………………

Hunan, Changsha, Baiyangping.

Zeng Guofan's hometown, a grand funeral was held here some time ago.

All the dignitaries in Hunan were present.

After the excitement, there was loneliness.

Zeng Guofan was mourning at home, holding two letters in his hands.

After reading the first letter, he just sneered.

A petty provocation.

Su Ye is smart, but is it useful to play such a childish provocation in front of old Jianghu like them?

Then, read the second letter.

He became serious.

Shen Baozhen meant that since Su Ye was solely responsible for the important task of suppressing the rebellion in Jiangxi, he should be given the entire stage.

Then the Hunan Army that surrounded Jiujiang should also be withdrawn.

In this way, Su Ye would be alone in the deep.

Should we do this?

The Hunan Army had surrounded Jiujiang City for a long time, so there was still a base outside the city.

Therefore, Su Ye still had a place to land and a foothold in Jiangxi.

Once the Hunan Army withdrew, Su Ye's new army might not even have a foothold in Jiangxi, and it could not float on the Yangtze River all the time, because it would be attacked by the counter-water division at any time.

At that time, a big choice would be to withdraw in disgrace.

A large army that suppressed the rebellion had to be forced to withdraw before it had captured any prefectures and counties?

What a shame that would be?

But if the Hunan Army did this, it would completely anger the emperor.

Zeng Guofan fell into hesitation.

But soon, a wave of anger took over his body.

Why should the Hunan Army cooperate with Su Ye?

As long as the Hunan Army continues to besiege Jiujiang, it will help Su Ye.

Now Su Ye and the Hunan Army are at loggerheads. More importantly, Su Ye's new army must not be allowed to gain a foothold in Jiangxi.

So Zeng Guofan made up his mind.

More than 20,000 troops, evacuate Jiujiang!

However, do not return to Hubei, as this will completely anger the emperor, and another greater reason is needed.

The army will attack Anqing!

Because Anqing is the gateway to the west of the rebel Tianjing. Once Anqing is captured, Tianjing will have no barrier in the west.

Since Your Majesty has handed over the military affairs of Jiangxi to Su Ye, we will not interfere, and we will attack Anhui.

We are still loyal to the king's affairs.

Moreover, the emperor urged Zeng Guofan to capture Anqing when the Jiangnan Camp and the Jiangbei Camp were in the most critical situation last year.

So Zeng Guofan wrote to Hu Linyi and Shen Baozhen!

The army withdrew from Jiujiang and turned to attack Anqing.

……………………………………………………………………

A few days later!

Twenty thousand Hunan troops evacuated from outside Jiujiang City!

Then, the commander of the Hunan Army announced that he would gather tens of thousands of troops and march eastward into Anhui to attack Anqing.

Suddenly, the entire southern battlefield and the entire southern officialdom were in an uproar.

Zeng Guofan, you are so cruel!

You are hanging Su Ye directly in the air, and he can't come down at all.

The 20,000 or 30,000 Hunan Army surrounded Jiujiang City for two or three years.

The city belongs to the Taiping Army, and the outside of the city belongs to the Hunan Army.

So, even if most of Jiangxi fell, there is at least a base outside Jiujiang City.

Now that the Hunan Army has completely withdrawn, where do you let Su Ye's new army land?

Once they leave the Yangtze River and land on Jiujiang, they will be alone.

They may face the encirclement and suppression of tens of thousands of Taiping Army.

What should Su Ye do? Withdraw?

Wouldn't that make him a laughing stock?

………………………………

Su Ye's two new armies have already completed the confluence.

In Yangzhou City.

Tuo Ming'a, the commander of the Jiangbei camp, was furious: "Zeng Guofan is too despicable and shameless. Isn't this hanging you, Brother Su Ye, in the air? You can't go forward or retreat."

Then, Tuo Ming'a said: "Brother Su Ye, this situation is not good. Zeng Guofan didn't fall for it. Instead, he withdrew all his troops. What can you do? You can't really go deep into the enemy's territory alone and rely on these 3,000 new troops to suppress the rebellion in Jiangxi, right?"

Su Ye smiled and said: "No hurry, no hurry, we are waiting to see a good show, a big show!"

But Tuo Ming'a was not optimistic, but he was only standing from the perspective of a friend.

And Wang Shiqing, the deputy commander of the new army, and others were worried.

……………………………………………………

Two days later!

The Tianjing Incident broke out!

Officially, the sky collapsed and the earth split.

After Yang Xiuqing forced Hong Xiuquan to call him long live that day, he decided to offer sacrifices to the Father on March 30th and officially call him long live.

Originally, Hong Xiuquan could only let it go.

You Yang Xiuqing, you can say long live the emperor, so just say long live the emperor.

You can monopolize power, so just monopolize power. Anyway, I am in the Heavenly King's Palace, enjoying beautiful women and good wine, which is not bad.

However, Chen Chengrong, who hated Yang Xiuqing, went to the Heavenly King's Palace to inform Hong Xiuquan that the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing would not only say long live the emperor, but also kill the Heavenly King and replace him on March 30th.

Suddenly, Hong Xiuquan was scared out of his wits.

Eastern King, Eastern King, are you so cruel?

It's not enough to monopolize power, you also want to kill me? How can you be so intolerant of me?

Hong Xiuquan, who originally wanted to live a salted fish, finally couldn't bear it.

He immediately summoned Wei Changhui and Shi Dakai to lead the army back to Tianjing to plot against Yang Xiuqing.

Shi Dakai was cunning and agreed verbally, but did not take any actual action.

But Wei Changhui had long hated Yang Xiuqing and regarded him as his number one enemy, and Yang Xiuqing's confidant Chen Chengrong was completely on their side, so on the surface Yang Xiuqing controlled the Tianjing garrison, but in fact he was completely at odds with him.

So...

Wei Changhui, the Northern King, followed the order of Hong Xiuquan, the Heavenly King, and led his army to surround the Eastern King's Palace.

Killed Yang Xiuqing's entire family.

Killed almost all of the Eastern King's Palace.

Soon, Qin Rigang also joined the massacre.

The entire Tianjing city was slaughtered and blood flowed like a river.

Shi Dakai, the Wing King, was shocked and stepped forward to stop it. But Wei Changhui and others were so angry that they began to expand the scope of responsibility, not only slaughtering Yang Xiuqing's subordinates, but also turning to kill Shi Dakai's entire family.

This drastic change was completely earth-shattering.

The Qing army in Liuhe City and the Qing army in the Jiangnan camp could see it clearly from a high place.

In the past few days, the entire city of Tianjing has been filled with blood and corpses.

The entire Jiangbei camp and the Jiangnan camp were completely stunned.

And at this moment.

Su Ye loudly ordered the new army to board the ship and attack Jiujiang!

Tuo Ming'a immediately admired Su Ye.

Brother Su Ye is really a god.

I didn't expect that this is the way to break the deadlock.

At this time, Tianjing changed drastically, and all the kings of the rebels were involved.

The family of the fake king Shi Dakai was killed, and Wei Changhui was so angry that he had no energy to care about Jiangxi.

Brother Su Ye led his army to suppress the rebellion in Jiangxi at this time. Isn't it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

It's amazing!

But if it's just like this, then it really underestimated Su Ye.

…………………………………………

Su Ye’s three thousand new troops, plus countless food and grass, plus dozens of artillery, loaded a full hundred ships, under the protection of two British armed merchant ships, along the Yangtze River, headed towards Jiujiang.

At this time, Hu Linyi and Shen Baozhen.

After hearing the news of the Tianjing Incident, the whole person was completely stunned.

Yang Xiuqing is dead.

Wei Changhui started to kill Shi Dakai.

Then... wouldn’t Jiangxi be empty?

It turns out that Su Ye’s kid actually had this idea.

Could he even calculate this?

Is this person so powerful?

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Su Ye will definitely not let it go.

In Guangji County!

Hu Linyi and Shen Baozhen are withdrawing the army that surrounded Jiujiang City. It took a lot of effort to withdraw all of them to Guangji, and then they have to complete the assembly and attack Anqing to give an explanation to the emperor.

As a result, the Tianjing Incident has now occurred.

And in Jiujiang City, Lin Qirong's 18,000 rebel troops are Yang Xiuqing's direct line.

Now that Yang Xiuqing is dead, can Lin Qirong still defend Jiujiang?

Wouldn't he go to Tianjing to avenge the Eastern King? Wouldn't he go to Tianjing to save his family?

And Shi Dakai occupied Nanchang. Now he was also involved in the Tianjing Incident. He couldn't protect himself. Wouldn't he transfer the Jiangxi army back?

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity cannot be lost.

At this time, several pigeons landed.

The situation was so urgent that they had to use carrier pigeons to send letters. You should know that this method has a high rate of letter loss.

Take the secret letter from the pigeon's leg ring.

This is a carrier pigeon flying back from Yangzhou.

The content above is very simple: Su Ye's new army all boarded the ship and set off along the long hair, with the destination being Jiujiang.

Su Ye is coming to attack Jiujiang!

He can't be given this opportunity.

Shen Baozhen and Hu Linyi looked at each other. They were not in a hurry at first, and watched Su Ye embarrass himself quietly. Either he stepped into Jiujiang and was besieged by tens of thousands of Taiping troops and his entire army was destroyed.

Or he retreated in disgrace.

But no matter which one, Su Ye was defeated.

What happened now? Such a dramatic change happened?

What if Jiujiang City is empty now and Su Ye really took it?

The emperor said that whoever took Jiujiang and Nanchang would be the governor of Jiangxi.

Suddenly, Hu Linyi and Shen Baozhen no longer cared about asking Zeng Guofan for his opinion and gave orders directly.

The army turned south again!

Attack Jiujiang!

Attack Jiujiang and take Jiujiang before Su Ye arrives!

So, more than 20,000 Hunan troops, who had just evacuated from Jiujiang, are now rushing south.

They are marching towards Jiujiang.

So as to intercept Su Ye and seize the great merit of capturing Jiujiang!

……………………………………

Su Ye's new army is on the Yangtze River, more than a hundred miles away from Jiujiang.

A speedboat came quickly and boarded the big ship.

"General, the Hunan Army intercepted us and dared to charge towards Jiujiang before us!"

"They are trying to take credit? What should we do?"

Su Ye was overjoyed when he heard this!

The good show finally started.

The big show finally started.

Shen Baozhen and Hu Linyi really couldn't help it and rushed out to take credit.

But...

Is Jiujiang City so easy to attack?

In history, you 30,000 people surrounded it for two or three years and then fought again, but you all lost.

What's more, more than 20,000 people attacked the city in such a hurry this time?

The only result is that it will be worse than in history.

Shen Baozhen, Hu Linyi, you guys fight well and slowly!

When the time is right, I will go to pick the fruits!

Hahahaha!

………………………………………………

At the same time!

After more than 20,000 Hunan Army soldiers arrived in Jiujiang, they found that it was indeed full of white flags.

Of course, they were not white flags of surrender, but white flags of sacrifice.

From a distance, one could see a sad atmosphere covering the entire Jiujiang City, as if there was no intention to defend the city anymore.

Seeing this good opportunity, Shen Baozhen gave the order directly without any time to rest.

"Attack the city!"

"Make achievements, now is the time!"

Take Jiujiang, then attack Nanchang, and let Su Ye gain nothing!

With his order, more than 20,000 Hunan troops attacked Jiujiang City frantically!

……………………………………………………

Note: The second update is here, and I would like to ask you weakly, do you still have a monthly ticket in your pocket? Can I give you some cakes?
